Paul,
I'd be glad to pay "Minky Licence Fee" to use the colour Image

It's not just a "color"; it's a bit more complex than that. There are four colors in the burst and the varnish is ambered slightly to warm it up a bit. Then there's the blending, which is a bit different for each bass, because there's a human spraying it.

Just stumbled onto this thread.... Wow, I'm glad I didn't miss it! An exciting revelation of a beautiful bass! WOW!!! Image

Kind of takes me back over a year ago to the unveiling of my own two guitars after PW did his magic on them!
